My Pokémon Story of Seasons

Chapter 251: Feeling like my body has been hollowed out

"Huh?"

Seeing the silver test strip suddenly change color again, Tibrim's expression was absolutely hilarious.

The originally silver test strip gradually turned fiery red, then leaf green, azure blue, and orange-yellow—

"This...this can't be possible—"

Tibrim's curly hair froze in shock as she watched in disbelief as the colors on the test strip changed one after another.

After the silver color, the test strip changed to six more colors, each corresponding to an abnormal condition.

In other words, what Tong Hua refined was a panacea that could truly cure all six abnormal conditions!

"Damn it! How did you actually succeed on the first try?"

What incredibly lucky bastard luck!

Upon hearing this, Tong Hua immediately became smug: "Hehe, it seems I am quite talented after all."

Alright! Let's continue alchemy like this! What's next?

Having gained successful experience, Tong Hua, under the guidance of Tibriam, began to devote himself to the profession of alchemist with tireless dedication.

A few days passed, and June 10th arrived.

Mumu, Ritsumi, and Kouyou left after playing at the ranch for two days.

Before leaving, Tong Hua exchanged contact information with Lu Mei and Huang Yao, and the three of them agreed to travel together again in the future.

"Let us host Mr. Tong Hua next time!"

"Yes, Mr. Tong Hua, please come and take a look at our Fire region. Our Summer Island is no less impressive than the Alola region!"

Tong Hua smiled and agreed to their request, while also thinking of Lucario and Night Demon who were still on Akala Island.

The door to the Phantom Hotel still stands in the middle of the meadow, waiting to be opened so that Tong Hua can continue his journey.

However, since things at the ranch weren't finished yet, Tong Hua had to put the plan on hold for the time being.

Anyway, the hotel is right here, I'm not going anywhere else.

As for what else Tong Hua needs to do on the ranch, it's of course researching alchemy and building relationships with his new companions.

"Meow~"

It has been three days since the two Wooloo, Mame and Woolly, moved into the Pokémon House.

The two of them have spent far more time with the big milk tanks and the salt stone treasures than with Tong Hua.

Perhaps it's true that you become like those you associate with; they somehow also developed a love for rolling around in the sun on the playground, as well as bumping into and licking stones.

"Well, whatever makes you happy—"

Meanwhile, at the Happiness Dessert Shop, the two newly arrived fairy milk maids, after getting used to the environment and work for a few days, were also arranged to evolve.

However, three of the previous batch of sugar ornaments had been used up, and Tong Hua had not replenished them, which narrowed down the range of choices for the two of them.

"Eek~"

In the end, one of them evolved into Milky Salt with a bow headband, and the other evolved into Milky Mint with a blueberry headband.

"Red Diamond, Caramel, Tricolor, Snow Salt, and Mint, haha, if there are any more, it'll be hard to come up with names."

What a happy problem!

In addition, the two new Miniature Fou were placed in the greenhouse of their new home.

This allowed Messenger, who had felt somewhat empty after evolving into Minifox, to rediscover the joy of being a babysitter.

"Fou~" "Chirp chirp!"

Tong Hua couldn't help but smile as she watched the messenger bird busily taking care of the two miniature hibiscus.

Looking at how much he enjoys himself, how come he's so much like me? Could it be because we've spent so much time together that we've changed each other?

However, compared to the harmonious atmosphere here, the other couple at home is quite noisy.

"Terrifying!" "Meow!"

After Chinchilla evolved, not only did its sleeping posture become worse, but it also always seemed to intentionally or unintentionally provoke the pickpocket cat.

The pickpocket cat, who initially intended to endure the torment, seemed to have lost all means and strength to resist after these past few days and nights of relentless abuse. Finally, it couldn't control itself any longer and erupted.

A real-life version of Tom and Jerry has officially begun, and just like in the cartoon, the cat is still on the side of the cat in reality, losing more often than winning.

However, this cannot be blamed on the pickpocket cat, since Chinchilla has evolved, and the balance of power between the two has been reversed.

If the pickpocket cat could evolve to a higher level, it might still be able to fight, but unfortunately it can't evolve.

"Meow————"

What annoys the pickpocket cat the most isn't actually that it can't beat Chinchilla.

Instead, it was that Chinchilla who, after subduing him, would intentionally or unintentionally brush his cheek with his big, fluffy tail—

It was almost like a deliberate provocation; this "humiliation" of a power reversal left the usually domineering pickpocket boss feeling both ashamed and angry.

"We have to find a way to teach that cat a lesson!"

"Can't you two just get along?"

Speaking of which, why haven't I seen the Queen Bee and the three bees these past few days?

Tong Hua began to worry when she thought about the queen bee who had been bringing three bees home frequently lately.

It's not that they're worried about anything else, but they're afraid that if the number of people increases, the cave where they originally lived will become very crowded.

After all, in just a few days, the number of bees had increased from 6 to nearly 30.

It's unclear why the Queen Bee is in such a hurry to expand the colony; perhaps she has finally accepted Fairy Tale Ranch as a large family and wants to develop properly here.

"Let's go see them."

While cleaning the new home with Chinchilla, Tong Hua decided in her heart that she would go to the cave where the Queen Bee and her family lived to deliver some gifts.

Meanwhile, in a cave next to the orchard—

"Beep!"

The patriarch, Big-tailed Civet, directed his 20-plus fanged civet underlings as they busied themselves in the cave.

In order to present "sweet to the point of being terrifying" as a gift before Tong Hua's birthday party, the queen bee spent nearly a week expanding the colony.

And now, the most crucial step is being taken in order to create sweetness.

Build an Amber City!

The so-called Amber City is actually a large honeycomb structure that requires a large number of honeybees to live in in order to produce the terrifying sweetness.

In order to build Amber City, the Bee Queen was so eager to expand her population, and she even invited the Big-Tailed Tanuki family, who were most skilled in construction, as well as two Celebi who could use secret powers to build secret bases.

"La-hua~"

The two Celebi were naturally happy to help, but since this was a surprise for the birthday party, everyone tacitly kept it a secret from Tong Hua.

Before the birthday party on June 21, everything about the party had to be kept from Tong Hua.

Otherwise, it wouldn't be a surprise!

"Lili!"

The raccoons and the big-toothed raccoons were responsible for digging in the cave to expand the underground space for the construction of Amber City, while the two Celebi used their superpowers and secret abilities to stabilize the terrain and prevent the cave from collapsing.

After working on it for several days, the underground cave is now taking shape.

Fairy Tale Ranch: I feel completely drained.

Just when everything was going smoothly and the Pokémon were about to continue their hard work—

Tong Hua, carrying a basket of homemade snacks and nutritional supplements, hummed a cheerful tune as she walked straight towards the cave.
